Kinzer Mound
The
Kinzer MoundKinzer Mound is a Native American mound in Ross County, Ohio,
United States. Located outside of the village of South Salem,[1] the
mound sits on high ground far from any stream. Built in a sub-conical
shape; it is 7.6 feet (2.3 m) tall and has a diameter of
approximately 70 feet (21 m).[2]
Due to the mound's location and shape, it is believed to have been
built by people of the Adena culture. If this is correct, the mound is
likely to contain the remains of a wooden structure used for
ceremonial purposes.[2] As such, it is a potential archaeological
site. In recognition of its prehistoric significance, the Kinzer Mound
was listed on the
National Register of Historic PlacesNational Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]

Arledge Mounds I And II
The Arledge Mounds are a pair of Native American mounds in the south
central part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located near Circleville in
Pickaway County,[1] the two mounds lie in the middle of a farm field,
far from any roads. These two mounds are disparate in size: while the
smaller mound's height is 5 feet (1.5 m), the other's is 20 feet
(6.1 m), and their diameters are approximately 65 feet
(20 m) and 120 feet (37 m) respectively.[3]:1140
Most unusual is the proximity of the mounds to each other — while
many groups of mounds are known in Ohio,[3]:1238, 1362, 1371 they are
not typically connected at the base as these two mounds are; only the
Arledge Mounds and the McMurray Mounds, which straddled the border
between Franklin and Madison counties, are known to have been
conjoined

Austin Brown Mound
The Austin Brown Mound, also known as the "Dwight Fullerton Mound," is
a subconical Native American mound located northwest of the city of
Chillicothe in Ross County, Ohio, United States.[1] In 1897, the Ohio
Historical Society sponsored an excavation of the mound under the
leadership of Clarence Loveberry, who oversaw the digging of a large
tunnel into the mound's side. Loveberry's investigation yielded
artifacts of the Adena culture and evidence of rotten logs on the
floor of the mound, but in publishing the results of his excavation,
he observed that neither a tomb nor any isolated burials were
discovered within the mound

Coon Hunters Mound
The Coon Hunters Mound is a Native American mound in the central part
of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located near the village of Carroll,[1] it
sits on the grounds of the Central Ohio Coonhunters
Association.[2]:393
The Coon Hunters Mound is a large structure, measuring 5.5 feet
(1.7 m) high and 65 feet (20 m) in diameter at its base. Due
to its shape and location, it is believed to have been built by people
of the Adena culture, who inhabited southern and central Ohio from
approximately 500 BC to approximately AD 400. Mounds such as Coon
Hunters were typically constructed as burial mounds atop the graves of
leading members of Adena society

Fortner Mounds
The Fortner Mounds are a pair of Native American mounds in the central
part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located northeast of the city of
Pickerington in Fairfield County,[2] they are two of several mounds in
the Pickerington vicinity, but the only pair of mounds in the area. As
such, they are of special interest to archaeologists: some of the
mound-building peoples of prehistoric North America lived in groups of
two or three houses, which were often covered with piles of earth when
the families would move to other places. Therefore, it is likely that
these mounds cover groups of postholes, and buried bodies may also be
located within them

Smithsonian Institution
The
Smithsonian InstitutionSmithsonian Institution (/smɪθˈsoʊniən/ smith-SOH-nee-ən),
established on August 10, 1846 "for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge," is a group of museums and research centers administered by
the Government of the United States.[1] The institution is named after
its founding donor, British scientist James Smithson.[2] Originally
organized as the "United States National Museum," that name ceased to
exist as an administrative entity in 1967.[3]
Termed "the nation's attic"[4] for its eclectic holdings of 154
million items,[2] the Institution's nineteen museums, nine research
centers, and zoo include historical and architectural landmarks,
mostly located in the District of Columbia.[5] Additional facilities
are located in Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York City,

ProtohistoryProtohistory is a period between prehistory and history, during which
a culture or civilization has not yet developed writing but other
cultures have already noted its existence in their own writings. For
example, in Europe, the Celts and the
Germanic tribesGermanic tribes are considered
to have been protohistoric when they began appearing in Greek and
Roman sources.
Protohistoric may also refer to the transition period between the
advent of literacy in a society and the writings of the first
historians. The preservation of oral traditions may complicate matters
as these can provide a secondary historical source for even earlier
events. Colonial sites involving a literate group and a non-literate
group are also studied as protohistoric situations.
It can also refer to a period in which fragmentary or external
historical documents, not necessarily including a developed writing
system, have been found

Hillside Haven Mound
The
Hillside Haven MoundHillside Haven Mound (designated 33-Cn-14[1]) is a Native American
mound in the southwestern part of the
U.S. stateU.S. state of Ohio. Located
southwest of Oakland in Clinton County,[3] it sits in dense woodland
on the side of a hill. It is believed to have been conical in shape at
the time of construction, but today it is rounded in shape, measuring
2.5 feet (0.76 m) high and 33 feet (10 m) in diameter.[4]
During a test excavation of the mound and its immediate vicinity,
archaeologists from Wilmington College found pieces of Adena pottery
around the mound. Judging by findings from other Adena mound sites,
the
Hillside Haven MoundHillside Haven Mound is believed to be a burial mound built over
the body of a leading member of Adena society

Conrad Mound Archeological Site
The Conrad Mound Archeological Site is an archaeological site in the
southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located east of Cleves in
Hamilton County,[3] the site is centered on an isolated Native
American mound. Its location atop a ridgeline has been interpreted as
evidence that the mound was constructed by the Adena culture. No
artifacts have been found at the site, for no archaeological
excavation has ever been carried out; however, experience with other
sites has led archaeologists to surmise that the mound is surrounded
by a larger zone of archaeological interest.[4] Because of its
potential archaeological value, the mound was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
